Our eighth Record of the Month for 2023 is Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You, the gorgeous new long player from all-time Drift icon, Bonnie “Prince” Billy.
We'll have to carefully check the records, but (Superwolves aside) this might very well be the first time that Will Oldham has been a Drift Record of the Month, and guys, it's a proper peach! One of his fullest albums in ages, Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You was recorded in Louisville by Nick Roeder, featuring Sara Louise Callaway on violin, Kendall Carter on keys, Elisabeth Fuchsia on viola and violin, Dave Howard on Mandolin, Drew Miller on saxophone and Dane Waters’ voice.

BPB's voice sounds amazing. Properly amazing. Even as far back as Palace Music it has always been one of the main features of his work, but from wild crooning through gnarled whispers, he has arrived in the last few years as something of a honey-voiced balladeer. Musically it feels like the ensemble ebb and flow around him, the subtlety really is beautiful.

Tender, funny, warm and absolutely full of life, this is such a treat of an album. Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You is available on a limited 'Rose' colour vinyl pressing. Both vinyl formats are pressed on 140g vinyl with black polylined inner sleeves and foil Stamp on front.
